Don’t know if any of this will continue, but the #Phillies daycare had the best combined half-season of their careers after the ASB:
✅ Marsh .302/.354/.527 (.881 OPS, 140 wRC+)
✅ Stott .294/.368/.487 (.855 OPS, 135 wRC+)
✅ Bohm .304/.344/.452 (.796 OPS, 119 wRC+)

I think there is some thinking of "we can fix him", but also it is a real acknowledgement that the OF market is bad, and the RH outfield market is just completely awful. He would not be my choice, but I am also not convinced my choice actually exists on the market.
I just see this as another in the Whitt Merrifield/ Max Kepler series of moves based on some magical thinking that “we can turn him around.”

That run already has Halladay in the Hall. If you are just looking at 07-11, Utley is a no doubt slam dunk Hall of Fame level talent, longevity is the argument against him by fWAR he trails Pujols 35.5 to 33.3 during that era. He easily was the 2nd best hitter in baseball during that time
This is the only case for him being in, and I hate this case. Just further eroding the prestige of the Hall.
The 2007-11 Phillies were a great TEAM and didn’t have a single player legitimately worthy of the Hall of Fame.

I have two opinions on the Hall of Fame ballot
1. Chase Utley is a Hall of Famer and voters need to stop fucking around.
2. It is objectively funny to have some real core Phillies in Abreu, Hamels, Rollins, and Utley AND cameo Phillies Gio Gonzalez, Howie Kendrick, Hunter Pence, and K-Rod
